Rear turn signal relocation kits - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

I want to relocate my rear turn signals. I like the Shadow Sabre rear turn signal on the license plate light. I was wondering if it would be a direct fit to replace the license plate holder and lite.

Honda Spirit turn signal relocation

The Spirit has a different rear fender than the ACE or Sabre. I don't think that particular kit would work on mine. I was looking at one of those on Ebay.

The signal relocator that came with my Leatherlike bags is a piece if 1 or 1 1/4 inch flat stock about 1/8 inch thick with both ends bent at a 90 degree so it is hidden by the license plate when installed.
Slots cut for mounting to the license bracket and holes for the turn lights on both of the ends that are bent forward.
If you have a drill and vise you should be able to make one.

I believe that the Ace has the same rear fender as the Sabre so it should be doable.

I did a relocation myself, you can read about it here. It was relatively easy, good luck!

Oh, and you're right the Sabre light won't work on the ACE. I got a Sabre light for mine but it didn't fit.

I tried to order one but their website just keeps taking me back to the cart without checking out and getting payment. I guess I will try again tomorrow.

I called the local Honda Dealer and asked about the relocating the rear turn signal and he told me that it can't be done on a 750 aero. This was the same dealership that told me that memphis shades did not make a windshield for my 2011 aero. (memphis shades only made it for 2009 and down). I asked if parts man if the only difference from a 2011 vs. 2009 is fuel injection and headlight cover why would't it if a 2011.

I don't' know if the parts man thinks i'm a dumb blonde woman but the windshield that i ordered online fits just fine and after I relocate my turn signal I will ask him if he has any job opening in the shop because I can relocate turn signal and install windshields on honda's 2010 and up and he can't. lol

I have the relocation kit but from what i have seen the wire will still be seen, Is there a way to use the kit and not see wires?
